Rose Clearfield(randomcreative)

My name is Rose Clearfield. I'm a freelance writer living in Southeast WI with my husband and three cats. I write for a combination of major content sites and private clients. I'm the author of the ebook Jewelry and Other Small Item Tabletop Product Photography, which is available on Amazon and Etsy. When I'm not writing or out exploring with my camera, I love to eat out, go to concerts, and attend festivals and other cultural events in the Milwaukee area with family and friends.
